100 Million bottles of beer on the wall...

Well that counts Grindstone out...
But look at that methodical shit... Each is named X, from X.com, has an email addy of X@X.com, and claimst to have X bottles of beer on their wall...
Those domains don't resolve, so I feel like this is some kind of attack... WTF else could it be?
Ah. That. I get it now... Since they didn't resolve I thought they might not have a chance of finding the winners, but now I realize that google might help them with that task. 
So now the question is: Would Grindstone approve?

If the comment is auto approved then they can post whatever then reload the page. After they reload the page they just search it for the text they posted. If it's there then it's auto approved. No need for google.
quit outting
(Not outting the techniques that actually make this effective)
Also, a for loop is probably producing those numbers. Once you break out of the standard widely available tools, a lot of stuff is suddenly possible.
Yeah, this..
Load up thousands of proxies across tens of scrapebox servers, scrape up every wordpress blog on the interwebs, fire some generic string nothing to do with your site each with a different email and different names etc, but a common keyword footprint.
Submit the comment, come back and check the links.. If the comment's there, add it to your AA blogpost DB.
Not really anything linking your site to the original spam then, just a generic post full of crappy numbers.. So you don't piss off webmasters in your niche / attract unwanted attention.
You then run through the entire db with your linked comments.. Perhaps also filtering out high OBL or whatever stuff too.
It's a "clever-ish" way to do blog comment spam.
Even better if you dev your own tool made specifically for the task, as Scrapebox has its limitations. E.g. post a specific scraped string to each blog, that's unique to that particular page, and look for that straight after posting. If you find it, you save it to your AA list, otherwise you skip. [ hint: use a server-side language & curl, and log all successes to a sql db ]
The big issue with the beer bottle method is that you've just left a massive footprint of beer bottles for people to google search in quotes and steal your AA list. Thus decimating any gems you pick up.
